Three things happened today that never happen.

First of all, I remembered what I dreamt tonight. This might not sound all that spectacular, but 99% of the time, I wake up with no memory of dreaming at all, so it’s unusual for me.

I dreamt that I was in an airport, or train station or possibly some strange combination of the two, with my family, waiting to leave on a train. Or plane. Or trane. Anyway, at this station, there was a section separated from the rest of the complex, you had to go through some sort of tube to get there, ’cause it was in a different time from the rest of the building, a shop situated in the past.

I went into this shop, and browsed hurriedly through the shelves. hurriedly, because we had to catch the trane, which when I think about it makes little sense, seeing as how there was time travel involved. Anyway, this shop, being a past-shop, had loads of old things for sale, things you never see in shops these days, and yet, many of the shelves were only half full and pretty much uninteresting. I stocked up on all the ElfQuest Readers Collection books I found hat I didn’t have, but just as I was getting ready to pay, I realized that a shop in the past probably wouldn’t take money from the future. This was way, way back, when coins and bills looked entirely different. There was a vague idea that I had to have a cheque of some sort, but I’m not sure what that was all about.

Anyway, I left my loot, and went back into the present to see if I could get hold of some old money or this cheque thing before the trane left. It gets a bit hazy at this point, the next thing I remember clearly is being back in the shop, feeling bloody stupid. being a shop that catered exclusively to time-travelers, the shop obviously accepted money from whichever time you could think of. This is the last think I really remember form it, but I hope I got to buy those books after that.

The second thing that never happens, yet happened today was the weather. It was beautiful summer weather, where it actually was hotter outside than inside. This may be common elsewhere, but to me, this is simply amazing. I could really get used to this inland climate, despite the winter. Back home, it’s not unheard of to have snow, or at the very least sleet, in May. The locals may nit have batted an eyelid, but I was stunned.

This leads to the third and final thing, that literally never happens. Seriously, I can’t remember when it happened last. I thought that the weather was too nice to not be outside.

Understand, I am not an outside-person. I prefer inside, in a relatively controlled environment. In summer, I often frustrate my mother by staying in by the nearest screen instead of catching some sun. I detest beaches, and I dislike simply sitting still on grass or sand doing nothing. Yet today, there was nothing I wanted more. That never happens. Yet it happened today.

These things may seem insignificant, but even one of them would get my notice, especially that last one. All combined, it made my day pretty remarkable to me. And now that I’ve jotted it down, I’ll probably remember it as well, which is good, ’cause today was a day that I’d like to remember.
